Oh dear, another one with colonial wet dreams.

I see the Telegraph has been snapped up by a German group. I wonder if we'll get more balanced reading from it.

It's good that people are accepting Gibraltars' right to self-determination.

Someone's updated the MPs wiki page, a bit naughty as no names have been confirmed.

Apparently he's doing it to protect Europe. Did anyone ask him to?

So now all you toy throwing Labour rejects go ruin it all because you fancy a bit of greenwash.

Maybe you should look into your history a bit more.

Look, I'm far from happy with the current government, and as I said I didn't vote for them, but 'stolen brand'. That's a bit pot kettle coming from the current green party.

No, its utter bollocks. The first part alone, suggesting Labour is happy with Reform/Restore policies would have a normal person shaking their head at the lunacy of a mind that could come up with such an idea, and I don't even vote Labour!!

If you say it quickly enough, you don't have to think about the meaning.

Now do one on the greens saying only they can stop Reform.

Punching down? Do you have an inferiority complex?

Can't say I've ever noticed any of that.

23.02.2026 17:42 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Yeah, that could be a thorny issue, but not insurmountable. It just needs everyone to be reasonable, what could possibly go wrong!

Where was this? The Yougov poll had spain at 60% support, although this did drop somewhat when opt outs were mentioned!

Wales voted leave.

Getting over agoraphobia to rejoin the world is a massive undertaking. For so long, I feared that if I couldn’t be perfect I wasn’t worth the space I take up.

I’m so glad I surrounded myself with good people who encourage me to speak up and be my creative, messy, imperfect self.

One day at a time.

I never quite got this 'rule taker' thing. I can see why it would bother a politician, but why should the man or woman in the street care?

It's quite possible you are Gyles, he does have many aliases. No reason why an annoying idiot can't be one of them.

Not sure you understand how things work Gyles.

Well, it's the McDonald's arch's on one side and Bridgy McBridgeface on the other.

The good old days, when there was 28 not 27.

Yes they are. Look for Copenhagen criteria for a start.

Unlikely, but even if we do, rejoin is a long-term project, and 4/5 years of reform wrecking the country might even be a benefit in the long run.

They're not agreeing to those things individually, but rather rejoining as a whole, with all the benefits and what different people might see as costs. Does the former outweigh the latter? That's the only question, not do you want the euro or not.

It would, why is that a problem for you?

Terms? The terms are already known.

That worked out well, didn't it.

I think it's only talking about current members and in specific areas.
